Yeah, Houston's skyline grew a lot during the 80s. There are only two other cities in the US with more buildings over 700 feet than Houston. Chicago has about twice as many 700 footers as Houston does, and New York has about twice as many as Chicago has, and likewise, Houston has about twice as many as Dallas has.
Over 700 feet.
